The ACAT workshop series, formerly AIHENP (Artificial Intelligence in High Energy and Nuclear Physics), was created back in 1990. Its main purpose is to gather researchers related with computing in physics research together, from both physics and computer science sides, and bring them a chance to communicate with each other. It has established bridges between physics and computer science research, facilitating the advances in our understanding of the Universe at its smallest and largest scales. With the Large Hadron Collider and many astronomy and astrophysics experiments collecting larger and larger amounts of data, such bridges are needed now more than ever.

The 15th edition of ACAT aims to bring related researchers together, once more, to explore and confront the boundaries of computing, automatic data analysis and theoretical calculation technologies. It will create a forum for exchanging ideas among the fields and will explore and promote computing, data analysis and theoretical calculation technologies in fundamental physics research.

The workshop on Hadron Nuclear Physics will be held from July 18 to 22, 2013 at Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, China. The workshop is regarded as a continuation of the workshop “Hadron Nuclear Physics 2011” held at the APCTP Headquarter, Pohang in Republic of Korea during the period of February 21-24, 2011. Hunan Normal University will be the local host university. The present workshop will concentrate on hot topics of hadrons, nuclei, and nuclear matter. In particular, it will provide a good opportunity to share information and ideas about recent hot issues such as newly-found hadron states and novel phenomena in medium, new theoretical tools. It will include presentations of related new data, new analysis techniques, new experimental facilities, and recent developments of theoretical works.

Review on the recent progress in theoretical and observational cosmology, focusing on issues of dark matter, dark energy,
modified gravity and non-Gaussinities. The main topics include the science of KDUST (Kunlun Dark UniverSe Telescope, http://www.kdust.org), the planned large-scale structure survey located at Dome A, Antarctica, and the possible international collaboration on the science using the IR detector and with DES (Dark Energy Survey, http://www.darkenergysurvey.org/).
The talks will be scheduled in the first 3 days of the meeting, followed by informal discussions.

Workshop on the Physics of Excited Nucleon – NSTAR2009 is to be hosted by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of Chinese Academy of Sciences ( CAS ) in Beijing on April 19 – 22, 2009.

NSTAR is a series held previously in Florida State University (1994), Jefferson Lab (1995), INT in Seattle (1996), George Washington University (1997), ECT* in Trento (1998), Jefferson Lab (2000), Mainz (2001), Pittsburg (2002), LPSC in Grenoble (2004), Florida State University (2005), and University of Bonn (2007).
